Excerpt from Text-Book of Ocean Meteorology: Compiled From the Sailing Directories for the Oceans of the World

Finding that the information in the Admiralty Sailing Directions was scattered through too many volumes for easy reference, and that the information in Findlay's Directories was too voluminous to answer the purpose, I proposed to the Proprietors of the latter well-known Works that they should issue, in a small volume, certain selected portions of those larger Works, and to these I have added various Notes from my own Lectures.

I have omitted almost all theoretical questions, and merely brought together material to illustrate what is the practical issue of the subject the Art of making Passages from Port to Port.
